The intense world of Tom Clancy’s The Division is being adapted into a dice-based role-playing experience. A partnership has been formed to create a tabletop RPG set within the franchise’s post-pandemic landscape. The project was revealed, with a funding drive planned to launch in the spring of 2026.

"This endeavor aims to deliver the franchise’s distinctive tension, strategic depth, and iconic world-building to the tabletop, providing fans a new way to experience The Division through immersive storytelling and player-driven missions," states an official release.

Development on the game has been in progress for about several years, and it is confirmed to be finished. The upcoming crowdfunding effort will serve as a pre-launch sales platform to access a broader audience, specifically in North America. Manufacturing will start right after the fundraiser, with shipping projected for the latter part of 2026.

A Streamlined Tactical System: The GRIS System

An early look at the game's rules confirms it employs d10s exclusively through its new GRIS system, encouraging a streamlined and tactical style. Players leverage skills or traits to assemble a handful of dice, usually between one and five d10s.

In this mission, the group spearhead the hunt for a missing medical team and work to stop an assault by the notorious Rikers faction, who have seized control of that Manhattan district. More specifics and the complete product lineup are expected to be detailed near the campaign launch.
